The answer to your question (in my opinion and in the opinion of a lot of people who frequent tls) is that no school is worth sticker with the exception of maybe Yale. Unless of course your parents are billionaires or you win the lottery or whatever…

I'm not sure practicing in Louisiana will be detrimental to moving later in life, but Tulane will severely limit your career in terms of location. (i.e. if you go to Tulane, bank on being in Louisiana) As someone who hails from the boot, if you aren…

Skipping half of the questions in the middle is a recipe for a bubbling error imo.
-
Yale/Stanford: the extra stuff matters a bit more than any other schools. At least that's the reputation they have. The other 3 of the top 5 is primarily a numbers game.
-
This totally depends on your numbers/goals to be honest. If you have median or above numbers to your goal schools it would be crazy to spend 3k+ for consulting. If I were you I would see what my lsat score is and go from there. A solid PS and good n…

Yes it rotates, it can also be bought at Wal-mart for around $10. That's where I got mine.

*Insert obligatory GO NOLES!* Since someone mentioned FSU up there^

Go to top law schools forums and click financial aid subforum. There is a spreadsheet with hypotheticals for every t14 school.
-
Having seconds thoughts about attending law school is fine. Attending law school because you like reading and writing is not fine.
-
I have been out of work already for 3 years completing my undergrad, so sitting out another year is not an option. Sorry to be that guy, but it is still an option. And it likely is your best option. Judging by you saying unc, emory, and iowa are th…
-
Every current or retired attorney I've ever spoken to have said law school should be two years and the third year is a joke.
-
I have many personal anecdotes that support the stance that they only look at highest score. My friend's 155(first lsat) and 168(second lsat) and multiple t14 acceptances with $ are clear support for that.
-
Realistically this is a completely personal choice. My opinion on visits is that you shouldn't visit a school until you have been admitted.(unless you are visiting to try to get off a waitlist or interview etc). The reason for me is two-fold. First,…
-
To be brutally honest you have very little chance of getting a full ride from vandy if your gpa isnt at or above their median regardless of your lsat score. Even then its not easy to get them to give you a lot of money.
-
Wustl moves ahead of vandy and Alabama cracks top 20 are my predictions. Also cornell goes up to 11 or 12.
-
Replacing the LG section with a math section might be the worst suggestion I have ever read on this forum.
-
I frequent TLS and although a lot of them have a "t-14 or bust" mentality that is over the top, I don't think they are far off in their thinking. Paying 44k a year to go anywhere other than a t14 is a bad decision for most people. Ultimately you hav…
-
I didn't either. Just put your name,the label "personal statement", and your lsac number in the header and you'll be fine.
-
I took nothing but 5 section pts. I don't really see a benefit to taking 4 section tests as the real deal is always 5 section. You may as well get your brain ready for the timing and endurance.
-
@Vickpetrosian1 said: GPA is hardly accounted for . I mean unless its just horrible (2.2-@2.9) .... even then with 170+ its just irrelevant with gpa you will get into third of the T20.... This is pretty much 100% false. GPA is considered and is r…
-
This shouldn't even be a question imo. If you can't even bring yourself to take the LSAT seriously up to now, what makes you think you are going to be able to take law school seriously and finish top 10%? Even then that's by no means a rock solid tr…
-
Supposedly they have been making the group interviewees(is that a word?lol) act as a mock admissions committee and talk about mock candidates and give their reasons for admission or denial. It's more of talking to the other interviewees than anythin…
-
I bubbled after each game for LG.(so bubble 5 or 6 or whatever at once) And bubbled each question for RC and LR. It was the most efficient and accurate way that I tried.
-
The first two are correct. The 2nd two are incorrect.
-
If you are saying your goal is to start your own practice without first "getting a job" while graduating from an unranked or low ranking school, I think that in itself is a very unrealistic expectation. In terms of employment, going to an unranked s…
-
It's better to get the extra rest and have 3 good hours of studying than not retain most of what you learned during the tired studying.
-
Interesting to see Washington and lee top 20 that many times and now they are in the 40s.
-
Two classes is no problem. I worked part time, took 6 classes, and managed LSAT prep last semester. Just make sure you don't neglect one for the other. Especially classes. You can always postpone the lsat, retake, etc. You can't redo a bad grade in …
-
If you go on TLS forums there is a thread for basically every major school's applicants this year and many post when they went under review and when they got their decision. Its a good way to get an idea of the average time a school takes to give a …
-
Typically speaking(this is not definite or exact by any means) I have found that the first 10 or so questions are the easiest in an LR section in general with maybe 1 or two difficult ones sprinkled in. So if you are missing questions in clusters ar…
